Questions We Answer in This Episode:
[00:02:45] What have you been doing both before, during and since your internship ended?
[00:04:33] With your experience coaching during your 4 years at Iowa State, who were your clients? How did you start coaching? Where was your experience?
[00:08:10] How is life changing now making you think about other opportunities?
[00:16:58] What kind of business goals do you have in the next year?
[00:18:24] Are you in the process of testing funnel components to reach new clients?
[00:20:42] Perimenopause, affecting women from late 30s to mid 50s, is a hot topic and a niche opportunity. Among athletes, active and inactive women, a narrow focus helps a customer feel seen and heard and a broad one feels too generalist. Who are you going to try to target with your messaging?
[00:23:38] How will you connect with your clients, attract new customers and enroll them?
